This is not managed by xfce, but depends on your distribution.

Usually, setting the environment variable EDITOR to whatever editor fits
your need (vi?) does the job.

If you are usign a Debian based system, you may have to adjust
atlernatives. "galternatives" provides a gtk GUI to the Debian
alternative system (sudo apt-get install galternatives)
